1. A system comprising:
a computing platform including a processing hardware and a system memory;
an asset library and a software code including a recommendation engine stored in the system memory;
the processing hardware configured to execute the software code to:
receive, from a user, a group generation data and a preferences profile of the user, the group generation data identifying a group including the user and at least one other user;
send, to the at least one other user, an invitation to join the group;
modify or redact, in response to receiving an acceptance of the invitation and input from the at least one other user, a subset of preferences in an original preferences profile of the at least one other user to generate a preferences profile of the at least one other user, wherein the modified or redacted subset of preferences in the original preferences profile is less than all preferences included in the original preferences profile;
obtain, in response to receiving the acceptance of the invitation, the preferences profile of the at least one other user;
generate, using the preferences profile of the user and the preferences profile of the at least one other user, a group preferences profile for the group;
identify, using the recommendation engine, the group preferences profile, and a selection criterion other than the group preferences profile, one or more assets in the asset library for the group; and
